bluebubbles

An integration for sending and managing iMessages through BlueBubbles, a service that connects tools to Apple's Messages system. It supports texts, attachments, reactions, replies, edits, unsending, and group-conversation changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to send a text or attachment, react to a message, reply in a thread, edit or unsend a message, or manage group participants, names, and icons.
Why use it?
It lets an agent handle iMessage conversations through one message interface instead of requiring separate manual actions. It also makes the recipient and message details explicit when a request is vague.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bluebubbles scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

BlueBubbles Actions

Overview

BlueBubbles is Otto’s recommended iMessage integration. Use the message tool with channel: "bluebubbles" to send messages and manage iMessage conversations: send texts and attachments, react (tapbacks), edit/unsend, reply in threads, and manage group participants/names/icons.

Inputs to collect

  • target (prefer chat_guid:...; also +15551234567 in E.164 or [email protected])
  • message text for send/edit/reply
  • messageId for react/edit/unsend/reply
  • Attachment path for local files, or buffer + filename for base64

If the user is vague ("text my mom"), ask for the recipient handle or chat guid and the exact message content.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
